I Can Wait
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I know that you're trembling
Despite your disguise
Your world is on fire I can see it in your eyes
Those spirits are hungry oh they feast on your fear
They're howling and screaming I can feel them so near
I will stay right here
I can wait, I won't change
I won't fade from the dark and strange
Feel the moon get to know the stars
I know it's not easy honey
It can seem so hard when your demons have found you
Oh they drag you through hell
Don't pay your attention to the stories they tell
Don't get me wrong now honey, I know it's severe
Just give me a smile now baby let me whisper in your ear
I will stay right here
I can wait, I won't change
I won't fade from the dark and strange
Feel the moon get to know the stars
I know it's not easy honey
You will find what you are looking for
And this work is never done
There are no judgments only open doors
The choice is yours
You can't get it wrong, no
I can wait oh yeah.
I will stay right here
I can wait, I won't change
I won't fade from the dark and strange
Feel the moon get to know the stars
I know it's not easy honey
Oh but I can wait, I can wait.
I will stay right here.
